Update the netconsole documentation to explain the new feature that allows automatic population of the CPU number.
The key changes include introducing a new section titled "CPU number auto population in userdata", explaining how to enable the CPU number auto-population feature by writing to the "populate_cpu_nr" file in the netconsole configfs hierarchy.
This documentation update ensures users are aware of the new CPU number auto-population functionality and how to leverage it for better demultiplexing and visibility of parallel netconsole output.
